Muddy Water
Eternal Flow: Love Lost in Muddy Waters
Lyrics
Out into the moonlight
Expressing a journey or exploration under the moonlight.
I could never fail
Confident in one's abilities, a sense of assurance.
Down by the turkey creek
Referring to a specific location, setting the scene.
To find that old trail.
Searching for an old trail, possibly symbolizing a quest or pursuit.
The river she's a flowin'
Describing a flowing river, setting a reflective tone.
I'm rememberin' the night
Recalling a past night, invoking memories.
Before I knew she was goin'
Realizing someone was leaving, a moment of revelation.
She was clean outta sight.
The person disappeared completely.
Chrorus:
Introduction of the chorus.
That muddy water keeps on rollin'
Metaphorically comparing life to muddy water, continuously moving.
Like the buffalo, she just keeps movin' on
Reference to the Buffalo, emphasizing the relentless flow of life.
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
Heartbreak in a bayou town, losing something significant.
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
Comparing the departure to water rolling out with the tide.
She was here and gone.
A brief presence and quick departure of the person.
--- Instrumental ---
Instrumental break, allowing for reflection.
There ain't no magic in the moonlight
Downplaying the magic of the moonlight, possibly indicating a realistic outlook.
No feelin' in the wind
Emphasizing a lack of emotion in the wind, suggesting a detached perspective.
But I know the stars are just as bright
Acknowledging the brightness of stars despite challenges.
Somewhere around the bend
Anticipating a positive turn in the future, symbolized by "around the bend."
She takes a bit of everthin'
Life takes different forms, unpredictable like water flows.
Just which ever way she flows
Highlighting the adaptability and unpredictability of life's course.
Now a thought is all she brings
Memories are all that remain of the person.
And that's the way it goes.
Acceptance of the transient nature of thoughts and emotions.
Chrorus:
Reiteration of the chorus.
That muddy water keeps on rollin'
Continuing the metaphor of life as muddy water.
Like the buffalo, she just keeps movin' on
Reiterating the unstoppable nature of life, like a buffalo.
From that bayou town my heart was stolen
Recalling the loss of something meaningful in a bayou town.
Like the water rollin' out with the tide
Comparing the departure to water rolling out with the tide.
She was here and gone...
Reiterating the brief presence and quick departure of the person.
